The wind picked up and the clouds rolled in and I thought, "yup we're in for a gooder of a storm." Alas no storm, however, the clouds were fascinating to watch. These were all taken within minutes of each other and to the North and East.

I thought this looked like the "starship enterprise"

After a light rain shower a beautiful double rainbow arched over the barnyard. My girls called it Peter Pans Rainbow!

Ever wonder how a cowboy hat is made? I never gave it a thought before never wondered or cared really. Well now I know that they are made from bever or rabbit and I know a guy that can make some pretty awesome looking hats. The tools he uses you would probably find in a museum, an old treddle like sewing machine, old irons, along with a variety of other tools I cannot name. So if you're in the market for a new hat, need one cleaned or would like a scoop of Ice Cream, take a trip on down to Barbwire Custom Hats on the boardwalk in Big Valley. Tell them Carmen sent you! Although I'm not sure what deal you would get, you may have to scoop some ice cream! LOL

Today I went on a trip down memory lane to the 4-H show in Stettler. Many many moons ago I was in 4-H Beef (only for a year) however my sister was in it for years. Now along with our cousin she is a leader for the Big Valley 4-H Beef club. This year the club celebrated 60yrs of 4-H. It's a small club now made up of mostly junior members (ages 9-11) and they sure shined today!! Way to go B.V Beef club!!

The girls and I wandered around O'Brien park tonight and came across this old tree. If only I had a rope or "tow strap" I would've tried to take this home! It would look fabulous in my yard at our new home.

This very neat looking knot is on the otherside.

Ahhh my adventurous gals, searching for treasure, footprints or bugs. They have fabulous imaginations and love to go exploring.

About Me

I've got a fabulous husband and together we have 2 beautiful daughters, 2 dogs and 1 cat. It's a busy house most days and I love it. I've always loved photography and I can't remember a time when I didn't have a camera or carry one around with me. Photography is a passion of mine I love to see what stories I can capture through my lens. I'm not a professional just someone with a love of the art and the drive to get better each day.
I have a new journey it's called "Carmen's 365 photo journey". Check out the blog and follow me on a new adventure of caputring a new image each day of something that inspires or moves me.
I'd love to hear from you.
